What affects the price in Great Shelford
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Great Shelford: your questions answered
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Great Shelford and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Shelford
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
